Second, it shows the owners who REALLY has the power and options. Third, its not about greed, its about making a living. We can say what we want about how much money these players are getting – but it the money being generated ON THEIR BACKS is into the billions!!!! who the hell do you think should get that money?? The problem most people have with this whole situation is they are looking at the players money and not the money being generated.

The intensity level and professional play is obvioulsy not yet at an NBA level, but worse is players’ “think first then execute” MO; that is, if your team is up against a perenially strong team, you are thinking “we’re probably going to lose, so I just want my points and avoid getting hurt or get too tired”. This “play the percentages ‘smart” basketball” is unfortunately endemic in East Asia. Jeremy Lin looks like he will need to depend on all-out hustle and learning the professional game to succeed, and he can onlg get that presently in the NBA.

How about creating a self-owned league and approach arenas around the league (like the Coliseum) with an offer to split revenues 50/50 (as an Oakland and Alameda County taxpayer, I would think we would jump at the chance rather than have the arena dark). Could a TV contract from another network be far behind? The players are the Product–not the league and not the Owners.

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:29:46 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/warriors/?p=2266#comment-31797My guess is that China is much more interested in Jeremey Linn than in Curry. Linn is a player who could really benefit from an extended lockout. If he played in China, he would get much more money and playing time than he ever will in the NBA. He would come back to the NBA, when the new CBA is finally approved, as a more experienced player. In the current situation, Linn can’t lose.

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 23:55:25 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/warriors/?p=2266#comment-31796Lol, all these stories about “going overseas” is an attempt by the players to scare the owners. The owners are not that stupid to fall for this. I am thinking the owners hold the power in this contest even if it costs both sides money with a failed season. The net will be an adjustment to players wages.

The real problem is that both the owners and players are so far removed from the folks who watch the games. America is out of work and those with jobs are looking over their shoulders. These two groups of people are in a different reality compared everyone else. That’s the real issue: greed.

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 23:28:57 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/warriors/?p=2266#comment-31795A Warriors story – hallelujah! Unfortunately, same old story with different names.
I had a dream last night that David Lee was shipped to the Hawks for Josh Smith – it was amazing! We followed that up with Monta for Iguodala. Then, we shipped Biedrins to Houston in a 3 way that lost us Udoh to Denver, got us Nene and landed Jordan Hill and Hasheem Thabeet on the Nuggets. Then, we re-signed Reggie Williams. Then, we signed Earl Watson, Reggie Lewis and Jason Collins as free agents.
The dream finished with me sitting courtside and looking at the line-up that featured:
Curry/Watson/Lin
Wright/Thompson/Jenkins
Iguodala/Williams/Bell
Smith/Amundson/Lewis
Nene/Collins/Tyler
Hey, a man can dream, can’t he? It wasn’t totally unrealistic – just the part about Lee for Smith (and me sitting courtside)!
